We welcome the field, volunteers coming for a minimum stay of 3 months ready to help
us.

Eco-volunteers help facilitate the smooth running of camp life (cleaning, cooking,
various chores) and various activities on site (chimpanzees care, planting, building,
etc...) under the direction of camp leaders. It may be necessary to assume various
additional responsibilities depending on the circumstances. Motivation, openness and
adaptability are essential!You can also enjoy a tax reduction, on the majority of your travel costs (participation
fee, tickets...), up to 66% of the total amount paid.
